Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions we are asked most often. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please get in touch or call us on 01935 479 559.

Is the design service free?

Yes. Your first home visit with Beth and Glen, and the design work that follows, are part of our complimentary design service. We take the time to understand how you live, measure your space and prepare detailed plans, drawings and an itemised costing, so you can see exactly how your kitchen will look and what it will involve. We always work to your budget, and we’re happy to prepare both a budget-friendly plan and a luxury plan so you can compare the options side by side.

How much does a bespoke kitchen cost?

Every kitchen is designed individually, so the cost depends on size, layout, materials and finishes. Most of our kitchens range from £15,000 to £45,000 and above, with smaller kitchens from around £8,000. Our base kitchen prices exclude appliances, which can be supplied on request. You’ll receive a full, itemised costing once your design is agreed.

How long does it take?

The design stage moves at your pace. Once your kitchen design is finalised, we need around six to eight weeks to prepare it in our Mudford Sock workshop, and fitting usually takes around two weeks. Fitted wardrobes, TV units and other furniture usually have shorter lead times.

Who will I be working with?

Donovan Kitchens is a family business. Beth designs every kitchen, and Glen, who founded the business in 1983, fits each one with our own small team. You deal with the same people from the first visit to the final handover.

Do you fit the kitchen yourselves?

Yes. Our own team installs every kitchen. We can also quote to remove your old kitchen and take care of plumbing, tiling and flooring. We are always happy to coordinate with other trades such as electricians, or work alongside your own builder. If you have your own fitter, we also offer a supply-only service for homeowners and trade customers.

Do you supply worktops?

Yes. We supply worktops in any material, from granite and quartz to solid wood, and we’ll help you choose the right one for your design.

Do you supply sinks, taps, pull-outs and appliances?

Yes. Sinks, taps and pull-out storage are all part of our kitchen design, and we’ll help you choose the right ones for your space, style and budget. Appliances aren’t included in our base kitchen prices, but we can supply them on request.

Where do you work?

Our workshop and showroom are at Mudford Sock, just outside Yeovil. We work across Somerset, Dorset and most of the South West, and will happily travel further for the right project.

Can I visit your showroom?

Yes, by appointment only. Our team is often out on site, so please get in touch to arrange a time and we’ll make sure someone is here to show you around. The showroom displays paint colours, handles, worktops, door styles and finishes, so you can see and feel the options in person.

What else do you make?

Fitted wardrobes, dressing tables, TV units, bathroom furniture, boot rooms, utility rooms, display cabinets, freestanding furniture and shop fittings. You can see examples in our portfolio.

What happens after my kitchen is fitted?

As a family business, we stay in touch. If you have any questions once you’re settled in, Beth and Glen are only a phone call away.

What happens at the first visit?

We’ll usually meet you at your home, in the space itself, so there’s no need to measure up. Beth will take all the measurements. If your space isn’t built yet, you’re welcome to visit our showroom instead, bringing any plans, measurements and photos you have. It helps to have a rough idea of your budget and timescale, and any pictures of kitchens you love.
